Brite Spot
We went to breakfast at the Brite Spot on Sunset one Sunday not too long ago. My son had expressed an interest in lomography (prompted more by a visit to a toy camera store in Barcelona than anything else, I think) and so I told him we'd share a Holga. He brought it with us to breakfast, and outside the restaurant I saw these bikes and asked if I could borrow it back.
There's a subdivision going up near my brother-in-law's place in Fountain Valley, and it struck me as the kind of bleak place I'd read about in all the fiction about Southern California. And while the truth about the region is far different, there are plenty of places - like this one - that reinforce the stereotype.
It's been a while since I shot anything with the Treo, much less posted it, and since it was the impetus for this whole exercise, I figured I'd pull it back out (the camera part, anyway) and see what I could find.
